Two reasons: Why Adeyemi is hesitating over a new deal at BVB | OneFootball

After tough negotiations over a contract extension at BVB, Karim Adeyemi continues to hesitate with his signature for two reasons.

Borussia Dortmund would like to extend Karim Adeyemi’s contract early. The current contract of the attacking player runs until 2027, but so far, the player’s side has not accepted the offer. According to Bild, there are several decisive reasons for this.

One key point is Adeyemi’s view towards moving abroad. The 24-year-old is said to still be hoping for a lucrative offer from the Premier League. Clubs such as Chelsea FC or Manchester United have repeatedly been mentioned in this context, but there have not yet been any concrete negotiations. To increase his chances of such a move, the winger recently changed his agent and is now represented by star agent Jorge Mendes.

Another sticking point in the talks with BVB, according to Bild, is a possible release clause. Adeyemi’s new agent is pushing to include such an option in the event of a contract extension. However, this clause was reportedly not included in Dortmund’s initial offer—one reason why negotiations are currently at a standstill.

Sale not ruled out: BVB open to Adeyemi offers

There is also the sporting situation. Adeyemi’s performances have fluctuated significantly this season. After a decent start, there were some unremarkable appearances, and recently the national player has alternated several times between the starting eleven and the bench. His goal tally has also remained modest. For a sought-after top transfer abroad, this is far from ideal.

On BVB’s side, a sale in the summer is not considered out of the question. Accordingly, the Dortmund management would start to consider offers from around 50 million euros. Adeyemi’s market value is estimated to be higher, but whether he can justify that sum depends heavily on his further development.

What is clear: With his wait-and-see approach, Adeyemi is taking a risk. If the hoped-for mega offer from England does not materialize and his performances do not stabilize, his position could deteriorate significantly. Whether Borussia Dortmund will remain willing to compromise in that case remains to be seen.
